Abstract
Protein identification is a main problem in proteomics, the large-scale analysis of proteins. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) provides an important tool to handle protein identification problem. Indeed the spectrometer is capable of ionizing a mixture of peptides, essentially several copies of the same unknown peptide, dissociating every molecule into two fragments called complementary ions, and measuring the mass/charge ratios of the peptides and of their fragments. These measures are visualized as mass peaks in a mass spectrum.
